your problem is they asking you about irridium plug, just say no to them, and use normal plug at rm50.
my wife got this question last week. of cos she refused and get the normal spark plug only. exercise your right to say no, before you sign. thats why they let you check and sign. choose the right service center is critical, even if you're driving mercedes. |

QUOTE(firedemon @ Mar 5 2012, 11:32 AM) Actually i really want to change to Iridium which i planned last time. Then when i go to service center they will change which i didnt ask them. I say okay la since i did plan to go it. but the price is one i worried. rm180 is normal shop price. 5 years ago i bought at this price too. cannot compare with online price of cos. and you also need to know when you buy online, like whether its genuine and the heat range. |

QUOTE(firedemon @ Mar 5 2012, 11:38 AM) There is no question on that agree with you. Just i concern why the price gap is large enough. We already support them buying cars. plus charging part for expensive rate. I feel absurd on this u can go pokok cherry type, you can go those selling you fake oil type. but setting up a proper service center needs money. and they honour your warranty. but i must warn you never change ATF oil at pokok cherry, they will use wrong ATF Oil and ended up your gearbox sucks. or you can go buy honda that requires you to service every 5000 km no matter what oil you use. i had 2 myvis in my house at one time, so i know how to maintain a myvi. and i did all my 100k service in SC. and yes, i will go back to SC. because they are cheaper in changing brake fluid, atf oil, radiator coolant. maybe you can list out your misc charges of rm40++ . yes, their oil changing labour charges is rm30 compare to pokok cherry of RM 6- rm10. |

When i reason with them they saying this how is done and its standard. the price is fixed. |
